Chapter 175 On the twelfth lunar month

Two days after the Longevity Festival, the emperor rewarded Xu Lingyi with a lot of tonics, and the queen rewarded her with a black fox fur robe and a pair of black fox fur knee pads. The father-in-law Lei even smiled and said: The queen said that in the future, Mr. Hou

There is no need to go to the morning court, but you still have to pay attention to the cold wind in the morning.

This is obviously to report a message to Xu Lingyi.

After hearing this, Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief, put away her robe, smiled and said to Xu Lingyi: Wear it during the Chinese New Year. She looked like she was planning carefully.

Xu Lingyi laughed when he heard this, got up and went to take Banyue Pan.

During this time, Xu Siqin and his brothers were all hanging around Madam Tai, and Eleven Niang asked Sister Zhen to come over. The house was quiet and quiet, and she was sitting on the kang doing needlework. A little maid came to report: She was next to the big breasts in Gongxian Alley.

Hang’s mother is here.

at this time

She was very surprised and invited Hang's mother to come in.

Mother Hang was wearing a purple-red velvet jacket and a big red silk flower on her head. She looked very festive. She saluted with a smile on her face: Yesterday, the eldest master took the fourth young master and the newly arrived fourth young lady, the twelfth lady and the fifth aunt.

The third aunt has returned to Beijing. Da Nai specially sent me to send a message to the eleventh aunt. I would like to invite the eleventh aunt to go back for a meal tomorrow.

As soon as she finished speaking, Eleven Niang said: Fifth Yiniang is coming with her.

Yes, Hang’s mother has a beautiful smile, and there is no one at home anymore. We can’t leave Wu Yiniang alone in Yuhang. The elder said that even if Wu Yiniang is dedicated to worshiping Buddha, she can just set up a Buddhist hall at home. Give Wu Yiniang

Advised him to come over.

Eleven Niang has not seen Wu Yiniang for two years.

When she says she misses her, she doesn't seem to have thought about her specifically. When she says she doesn't miss her, she always feels that there is something about Yuhang that worries her.

She was a little stunned.

Hang's mother already smiled and said: We also invited the third uncle and the third young lady; the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt's grandmother; the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt's grandmother; the tenth uncle and the tenth aunt's grandmother.

Looks like it's a family gathering

Eleven Niang took a deep breath and came back to her senses: You go and get the big breasts, I will go there early tomorrow morning.

A flash of surprise flashed across Hang's mother's face.

Grandma Eleven has a mother-in-law and a husband. She wanted to go back to her parents' home, but she just agreed to it without saying a word. It seems that Grandma Eleven is also a very capable person, and she only married three years ago.

It took four months to gain a firm foothold.

The thought flashed through her mind, and she responded with a smile. The two exchanged a few words, and Hang's mother stood up to leave. Eleven Niang rewarded her and asked Lu Yun to send her out. She sat there for a moment without knowing what she was feeling.

Then he asked Hu Bo to call Dongqing Binju and Zhu Xiang to come over and tell them about the elder's return from Yuhang.

After hearing this, several people smiled, especially Zhu Xiang, whose face brightened up: "Is Fifth Yiniang here too? Are you still leaving? Madam, I have to dress nicely to see Fifth Yiniang tomorrow. Fifth Yiniang looked at ease."

.Looking very happy.

Eleven Niang's heart was full of emotions when she saw it.

Perhaps the one who misses Wu Yiniang the most is not himself, but Zhu Xiang

Yes, yes, yes. Bin Ju responded repeatedly, took Zhuxiang and went to pick out clothes for Eleven Niang.

However, Hu Bo showed hesitation: Should I tell the Marquis that the fourth uncle loves to visit relatives? The fifth uncle is the best person and will definitely go. If something happens to the Marquis, we can make plans in advance.

The implication is that she is afraid that Xu Lingyi will not go. At that time, she will also be a married girl, and others will be in pairs. Only her loneliness will be misunderstood, and she will be disliked by her husband's family and lose face.

But Eleven Niang didn’t want him to go at all.

Xu Lingyi held a high position, and the Luo family never dared to use the standards of an ordinary son-in-law to treat or ask for him. When he went there, he would either stand in silence or sit upright. What's more, now that Xu Lingyi has foot paralysis, he should stay at home.

But before she could speak, Dongqing already said: Who is Mr. Hou, not to mention the Fourth and Fifth Aunts, even the Tenth Aunts cannot compare with him?

It means that going there is to give the Luo family dignity, so it's okay not to go there.

Eleven Niang doesn't like Dongqing's attitude.

Sometimes, others can ride on your back because you bent down first.

No matter how much you don't like him, he is still the son-in-law of the Luo family. Eleven Niang said calmly, but now that the Marquis has foot paralysis, it is better to move less.

Dongqing felt the displeasure in Eleven Niang's tone and hurriedly explained: Madam, that's not what I meant. I just think that the Marquis is very particular about his behavior. The fourth and fifth uncles are just people with a good reputation, so they are afraid of the Marquis.

Everyone felt uncomfortable going there.

Eleven Niang wanted to say a few words to Dongqing, but then she thought about it. She had been taught this kind of distinction between superior and inferior, so she had better not let her get confused. Then she smiled and said: What you said makes sense. Then she stood up: Since

When I go back to Gongxian Alley tomorrow, I have to go to Mrs. Tai’s place to say hello. I took Amber to Mrs. Tai’s place.

Knowing that Master Luo was back, Da Nai wanted Eleven Niang to go back for a meal. Mrs. Tai repeatedly said hello: Let's get together and go back to have a good day. Then she asked Mrs. Du to get two 30-year-old ginseng:

I gave it to my wife-in-law. I took a pack of bird's nests and gave them to my aunt. I took four identical gilt beads inlaid with southern pearls and gave them to my lady-in-law and the new fourth mistress.

Eleven Niang thanked her and asked Sister Zhen: Do you want to go with me?

Sister Zhen was stunned, and after a while she murmured: I, I will go too

Eleven Niang said with a smile: Twelfth sister is here too. She is two years younger than you. She also has a very good personality. Maybe you can play together.

Seeing Sister Zhen's hesitation, Mrs. Tai smiled and said: If you want to go, just follow her. That's your maternal home too, so go and have fun with her.

Sister Zhen then responded respectfully, but her eyes brightened like morning stars.

Eleven Niang looked at it and smiled slightly.

Mrs. Tai asked about Xu Lingyi: Originally, he was going to court, but now he is not going to court, and there is no trace of him.

Eleven Niang hurriedly smiled and said: Mr. Hou went to Banyuepan. He said that he had something to discuss with his staff. She also said that although Mr. Hou did not have to go to court, seeing the New Year approaching, every family had to socialize, which was not as good as when he went to court.

easy.

The lady said nothing more.

Eleven Niang was chatting with her, and a boy ran over to report: Mr. Zhou and Mr. Wang are here to visit the Marquis. The Marquis is hosting a banquet in the outer courtyard. He said he would not come over at noon. He will come to say hello to Mrs. Tai in the evening.

If you really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here

As soon as Eleven Niang said that Xu Lingyi had a lot of entertainment, Xu Lingyi's entertainment came. Mrs. Tai looked at Eleven Niang with a smile and said: Which Mr. Zhou is which Mr. Wang?

The boy hurriedly smiled and said: Mr. Zhou Shizheng and Mr. Wang Li.

It turned out to be the two of them. The madam smiled and said, I understand.

The boy responded and left.

Mrs. Tai said to Eleven Niang: Zhou Shizheng is the third son of Princess Fu Changcheng, and he grew up with the fourth son. Wang Li was originally the chief historian of the Emperor's Qiandi, and is currently the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Shang Bao Si Qing. He explained to her in detail.

Apparently, these people are Xu Lingyi's friends.

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded, secretly remembering that she and the Third Madam had served the Madam for lunch at noon, and then she and Sister Zhen returned to their residence to clean up the clothes and accessories for going out tomorrow. She also informed the Luo family about the situation.

Sister Zhen introduced me a bit to prevent her from getting confused.

Just as he was talking, Xu Lingyi came back.

Sister Zhen bowed and left.

Eleven Niang smiled and stepped forward to help him take off his cloak.

Smelling the faint smell of alcohol on his body, I served him and wiped his face with a hot handkerchief, and then let him simmer a cup of tea: to relieve the hangover.

Xu Lingyi leaned on the big pillow and drank tea, her brows showing a rare hint of comfort.

What are you doing? Looking at the decorations scattered on the mirror table, he asked casually.

Eleven Niang told him that the eldest master had brought Wu Yiniang back to Beijing and asked him to go back for a meal tomorrow.

He was startled when he heard that she was going back to her parents' house. When she would come back, he asked her if she hadn't invited me, looking very puzzled.

Do I have to invite you?

Eleven Niang laughed, but she thought that she was from her husband's family on one side and her mother's family on the other, so she couldn't alienate their relationship. She said flatteringly: "How can I not invite the Marquis? I just said that the Marquis has foot paralysis, so I helped him come back."

Attentively and sincerely, didn’t Aunt Qiao play the piano for you last night? Otherwise, tomorrow I will have a whole banquet delivered to Aunt Qiao, and you can drink and play the piano.

Xu Lingyi stared at her for a long time, then said oh, then pointed to the tea cup and simmered it again.

Eleven Niang asked the little maid to simmer tea.

Xu Lingyi pointed to another little maid who was serving in front of her: "Go and call Mr. Bai."

The little maid responded and left.

Xu Lingyi muttered something in a low voice.

Eleven Niang couldn't hear clearly, so she walked over and said, "Master Marquis, if you have any instructions, before she finished speaking, her eyes blurred and she was hugged by Xu Lingyi."

The sudden change made her exclaim a little.

Xu Lingyi had buried his head in her temples: What had she done today? The hot air mixed with the smell of wine hit her cheeks, and the low-mellow and deep voice made the atmosphere very ambiguous.

Eleven Niang's face suddenly turned red: Mr. Hou drank too much.

Xu Lingyi's voice was a bit muffled, but his hand reached into her little coat.

It was broad daylight and he only had the two maids waiting in front of him. There were two more standing at the door of the inner room, and in front of the curtain in the hall, the eleventh mother at the door was eager to catch the dishonest hand.
